CELTIC fans are jumping for joy after landing Italian champions Juventus in the Champions League last 16.

And plenty of them are filled with belief the Hoops can make Scottish football history by bringing the Old Lady to her knees to reach the quarter-finals.

John Kerr, Coatbridge, said: “It’s funny that the main draw was exactly the same as the dummy run but it is still a wonderful tie and we can get through to the last eight.

“Juventus have some good players but we can sort them out.”

Ian Grant, Falkirk, said: “I am delighted. If I had handpicked the draw Juve would have been one of the teams I’d have selected.

“I am under no illusions it is going to be tough but we can get through to the last eight. We can put years on the Old Lady as this is a great chance of getting through.”

Tom Walsh, Yoker, said: “We didn’t get the easiest team in the draw but we can still beat Juventus.

“We could have had much tougher games like Manchester United or Bayern Munich and don’t be surprised to see us in the next round.”

Kevin McQuade, New Stevenston, said: “Murdo MacLeod said Celtic should look any team in the eye.

“I hope Neil Lennon will adopt the Murdo mentality because they have already beaten the best side on the planet and almost got a draw with them away from home so Celtic can go through.”

Paul McHugh, Blairgowrie, said: “This is a hard draw but we can go on to meet the other great teams in the Champions League and edge closer to the Final.”

Alan Lough, Dunbar, said: “Andrea Pirlo worries me as he is a machine in the Juventus team. Celtic have got it tough but I suppose they could still go through.

“Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he didn’t want Barcelona and he got his wish. I’d love to see Manchester United go through and with the way Real Madrid are playing anything is possible.”

There was even words of support from non-Celtic fans.

Iain Kilgallon, Dunoon, said: “The draw is a tough one for Celtic but it could have been a lot worse and in this season of goodwill I want to wish them all the best.

“They are representing Scottish football. And after Craig Levein’s woeful attempt at managing the national side saw us slump to on a par with the Cape Verde Islands, anything that gives us a shot in the arm must be worth supporting.”

Gayle McArthur, Cork, said: “I am worried because Juventus are one of the best teams in the world and will be rubbing their hands at having got us.”

On to Rangers now and Chris Stevens, Bishopbriggs, said: “I am worried about this £10million transfer warchest.

“I hope Ally McCoist spends it on good young players who know all about the lower leagues rather than big stars.”

Fred Williams, Bellshill, said: “Surely the time to brag about having no debt is when you pay it all off, not when you bin the lot and start afresh.”

Chris McBride, Ayr, said: “I have no problem with Rangers keeping the titles of the old company if they pay the debts of the old company before they start bragging.”

William R emailed: “It’s time supporters of other clubs get a grip.

“It’s getting beyond a joke how folk can’t accept Rangers still exist. It’s like an obsession. We’re not going away so move along and concentrate on filling your own stadiums.”
